HTML and ASCII [was: Re: THE NEW FAQ [....] ]

   Greetings,

   Your "that html code" reference is actually the key, I believe.
Sure, <PRE> is nice, but try "<CODE>" instead, or in addition
to.  Of course, I speak before I've tried this in reference
to displaying ASCII art for say Lynx review, but whenever I
think of <PRE>, I think of <CODE>, too.  Please let me know
what you think on the matter. ;-)  Take Care and Blissed Be.

   P.S.  I saw someone's reference to a URL that has "Scarecrow"
         in it... I'm coming to find ya', Scarecrow... you better
         watch out. *evil grin* };->
